This setting is only for the full-screen map, not for the small one.

I'm having two annoying behaviors. The first is, you can't make a pair takeoff with AI planes because each time they get to the runway, they instantly accelerate, even with a delay set on the last taxi waypoint AND on the takeoff waypoint. The other thing is weird formation flying. I created a mission with 9 Ju 88s taxi-taking off, then flying the vic formation. And each time they collide with each other while creating the formation (I mean no 3 too far forward, even before the no 1, so I eventually ended up with just 6-7 planes in formation). And they also like to drop their bombs early. And I don't mean several dozens of meters, I mean 2-20 km before they reach their target!
I don't know if it's my fault (bad mission making or something) or AI's, but I just can't make them listen to me

Or read this:


Instructions:

When starting a mission from QMB I'm being kicked back to desktop with the game still running, so the game is losing focus.
I can ALT+TAB back into the game to resume so it's not a major issue, just a minor annoyance.

This doesn't happen in missions flown from FMB or from a campaign.

Another bug :

When you die, you don't have black screen.

I made a mission titled boston tea party, in it the a20c attack ijn ships and now in 412 when the a20 descend to torpedo height when they turn in on their run they simply ditch or wing over. Attack waypoint height was set at 500m to allow ai to manuever. skip bombing planes remained ok, it may be related to the attk waypoint but it is synchronized as much as possible with the ships position at the time of attack, ship has waypoints not just 1 at each end.

Is this a bug, or...is it expected?
If so, I would say this is something like to give us a toy and take the other...

While looking into how to fix the missing markings in QMB in the FMB menu I found a swicth that de-spawns AI AC on landing which is checked as "ON" by default, so I guess you will need to un-check this to stop your AIs from vanishing!

Sorry, I can not find this switch.
Could you please inform its name and location?

Thanks!

EDIT:
OK, I know the switch you're talking about:

Configure/Misc/Despawn AI AC after they land and park

But unchecking that box seems to be not enough. Unfortunately, planes still land, stop and... "puff".
